Dell PowerVault MD3420 - Manual (Page 111)

To re-establish the link between a primary virtual disk and a secondary virtual disk, use the create
remoteReplication command.
Deleting A Primary Virtual Disk Or A Secondary Virtual
Disk
Use the delete virtualDisk command to remove a primary virtual disk or a secondary virtual disk
from a storage array. Deleting a virtual disk in a replication relationship removes the replication
relationship and completely deletes the virtual disk from the storage array. You cannot redefine the
replication relationship until you create a new virtual disk or choose an alternate virtual disk to replace the
deleted virtual disk.
CAUTION: Possible loss of data access – Deleting a primary virtual disk or a secondary virtual disk
permanently removes the data from the storage array.
Disabling The Remote Replication (Legacy) Premium
Feature
You disable the Remote Replication (legacy) premium feature to prevent the new replication relationship
from being created. When you disable the Remote Replication (legacy) premium feature, the premium
feature is in a Disabled/Active state. In this state, you can maintain and manage previously existing
replication relationships; however, you cannot create new relationships. To disable the Remote
Replication (legacy) premium feature, use this command:
disable storageArray feature=remoteReplication
Deactivating The Remote Replication (Legacy) Premium
Feature
If you no longer require the Remote Replication (legacy) premium feature and you have removed all of
the replication relationships, you can deactivate the premium feature. Deactivating the premium feature
re-establishes the normal use of dedicated ports on both storage arrays and deletes both replication
repository virtual disks. To deactivate the Remote Replication (legacy) premium feature, use this
command:
deactivate storageArray feature=remoteReplication
Interaction With Other Premium Features
You can run the Remote Replication (legacy) premium feature while running these premium features:
• Snapshot—both standard Snapshot and Snapshot (legacy) premium features
• Virtual Disk Copy
When you run the Remote Replication (legacy) premium feature with other premium features, you must
consider the requirements of the other premium features to ensure that you set up a stable storage array
configuration.
In addition to running with the premium features, you can also run the Remote Replication (legacy)
premium feature while running Storage Partitioning and Virtual Disk Expansion (VDE).
